TRS Telford Tigers have launched a utilities scheme to save fans money and raise funds for the club.
The all in one utilities switching service www.tiger-utilities.co.uk
can reduce the cost of bills such as your phone, broadband, gas,
electric and mobile phones, with the club earning 3.5% of the members
monthly reduced bills through the service.
This service is being sponsored by local couriers www.bksameday.co.uk and
their Managing Director, Ben Coates, was pleased to help support the
service saying “I am delighted to sponsor this utilities scheme and help
the Tigers continue the fantastic work they have done since becoming a
supporter’s trust club.
"The new utilities service is a win win situation for both fans and the club”
Supporters can switch to the new utilities by visiting the website and selecting the utilities they are interested in.

Another Van into the fleet, here we go for year 2.
BK Sameday
has just begun its second year of trading, and is celebrating by adding an
additional Transit van to the fleet. Tucked into their distribution centre in
Trench Lock, Ben Coates has decided it is time to start filling the warehouse
and becoming a distribution centre for local businesses.
With the more
vans they bring on board, the easier it is to offer a reduced price to customers
who can wait a day or two and add the items to the appropriate van, Ben said
“it has been difficult with the small van’s, we have had to be purely a same
day company only, get the goods and take it to the destination, therefore
charging our per mileage price, this will still be our main service, however
with the new vans coming into the fleet, we expect to cover the UK most days,
thus enable a collection in the North, and promise a delivery down South within
a couple of days, but at a cut price, because we can get more than one job on
the van.”
BK Sameday
know the importance of the local economy, indeed being a courier business,
there are many factors that affect margins, none more so than the rising cost
of Diesel, the weather slowing traffic down, and cash flow dictating the amount
of vans are on the road, but Ben said “We are building slowly, our first year
accounts are near completion and they show a small profit, and that was with a
big marketing splash just before the end of year, we appreciate market
conditions are poor, but if we can improve year on year then we will be happy,
we are not a major player, but we are ensuring our long term sustainability and
not over-stretching ourselves.”
BK Sameday
will have three full time workers from Mid-January, but is looking for
self-employed van drivers looking for work, working off a trade exchange means
that work can be supplied to several people in different areas of the country
90% of the time, Ben added “We have some fantastic tools in our industry, and
if we can pass on some of this business to local drivers, we would be proud to
assist, we can put on where people are returning from as well and ensure they
are loaded for return journeys, which is where we can really make our margins
higher.”

advantage of this or to discuss working alongside BK Sameday please call 0844

Let’s build this business.
So you now know how I started and who the company is behind the
opportunity, I am sure this has gained you confidence, but now the
scariest time of any new business is how to get started, what are the
hints and tips to gain the customers and distributors you need for
success.
Luckily the Utility Warehouse has a fantastic FREE training program, in a joyful atmosphere, people who have not only built there business, but have also built other people’s business, pass on their knowledge, not only the knowledge they have learnt but also the approved training programme that has been built on many of the successful experiences from the top distributors, they do not keep secrets.
The fantastic think about this business is it is all on a plate, your website name issued however is a bit long and a mouthful, e.g.: https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/?exref=G62804 but for about £5 you can buy an appropriate domain name, I purchased www.theabcsolution.co.uk, it rolls off the tongue, it gets your creative juices flowing though.
Once you have finished your training, you could well have your first appointments set up, on training they assist you on this to build up your confidence, and you should have a large list to begin concentrating on, the thing to remember when you are calling people is you are asking them if you would like a coffee together so you can quickly run something passed them that is fantastic, it is not a sales appointment!
The law of averages state that 7 in 10 will say no, so the best attitude to people who say no is thank you, that means that the next nine people I speak to 3 will say yes, and at least as a friend I have spoken to you. Make them think they are missing out on something that is futuristic, because they are, and don’t write them off, they may come back to you at a later date.
One of the key to success is to plug into the system, embrace it and enjoy it, this business is not for everyone, again, it is not a problem, but if it is not for you, you may want to recommend a friend, it is all about giving everybody the choice. Telecom Plus do not invest in advertising, they rely on word of mouth, this enables the company to pass the savings onto customers, this is why they offer the price promise, they offer,
• The UK’s cheapest Home Phone
• The UK’s cheapest Home Phone and Broadband bundle
• The UK’s cheapest Mobile
• The UK’s cheapest standard Gas and Electricity
And with 96% of customers satisfied enough to recommend the services, they must be doing something right!

Save Money, Make Money
The ABC Solution, growing you, Part II
So we now have the website set up, the business is live, but where do
we start, luckily with Utility Warehouse, it is all explained to you in
several free training sessions, I believe the fee is worth the money
alone just for the training and personal development, with a complete
online training schedule and superb interactive training class rooms, it
really can be a dummies guide to your new business.
But who do you have behind you and who says they are any good? The Company is Telecom Plus, based in North London, and operates only from this main office, it was founded in 1996 as a telecommunications business. Its first product, launched in 1997, which was a least cost call routing ‘Smart Box’, a gadget that plugs into a phone socket and then routes the calls to alternative networks at a cheaper rate than British Telecom Since then, the company has added to its portfolio: a full landline telephony service, mobile telephony (piggybacked on the T-Mobile network), broadband, gas and electricity (the company is licensed by OFGEM), and a Cash Back card (a pre-paid Mastercard).
To date, the business has grown to over 375,000 domestic and small-business customers, around 30,000 of whom are also Distributors, signing up new customers under a Multi-level marketing scheme in return for a residual income.
In March 2009 the Company was awarded the prestigious title of “Company of the Year” at the Quoted Company Awards annual dinner.
In February 2011, Which? magazine named the Utility Warehouse as the UK’s ‘Best Energy Supplier’ for the third year in a row. It also names the company Recommended Provider for Home Phone. Which? named the Utility Warehouse ‘Recommended Provider’ for Broadband in September 2010, and awarded it a ‘Best Buy’ for Home Phone and Broadband in Dec 2008, Feb 2010 (renewed in August 2010).
Trading as The Utility Warehouse, Telecom Plus has no shops and does not advertise on television or in the national press. The entire operation (including call centres) is based in North London, with around 450-500 staff.
So as you can see, this is something special, and at the presentation evenings you learn more about the people behind the business, but if you can’t wait just google Charles Wigoder.
Thank you for reading part II, I will update again later this week, to get involved as a customer please visit www.theabcsolution.co.uk and as an interested distributor please visit http://www.telecomplus.co.uk/biz/videodir/home.taf?exref=G62804, also don’t forget businesses you aren’t left out, your page is http://www.telecomplus.co.uk/business/?exref=G62804.

UK Road problems
As a Sameday courier driver at www.bksameday.co.uk, I get sick of jams and problems on the roads, the reason I get frustrated is not because of the road works, but because of us the public and the kids who operate the overhead signs like they are on a PlayStation.
Firstly onto us, the public, we are thick, we drive at such speeds and so close to each other, that instead of keeping a flow through of traffic, we drive so close that we continuously slap the anchors on, have you also noticed how the fast lane is always the busiest lane, always the first to stop, I tend to drive across all three lanes, when I would suggest 80% of the time, I could simply use two, but you get the middle lane hoggers, those who look at you strangely when you bip at them and ask them to move across, our motorways are three lanes for a reason you plonker!
Also when the signs say stay in lane, why do you always see in front people who believe this means change lanes because one may be quicker, the quickest thing to do is stay in lane so the flow in constant, for god sake you thick drivers!
Then there are the overhead signs, this must be the easiest job in the world, programme them once a week to read things at certain times, no matter about road conditions, I travel up and down motorways a lot of the time, and sometimes it takes me longer because I am looking for the congestion that is highlighted, or the reason why on a 70MPH zone, I am doing 40, or why when in a congestion, they tell me there is a queue ahead, guess what, I am in the queue that you profess to be ahead.
Do you really pay people to run these signs? Are you really wasting my tax money on monkeys switching these signs off and on? I know as a driver, we are the pits of the country, but without us paying so much tax that the rip off government take from us, the country would be bust, oh no, hold on, it almost is!
I have a suggestion to the stubborn transport department and the industry who run the motorways, GO ABROAD AND LEARN HOW TO RUN THE ROADS PROPERLY, also when you do road repairs try doing the repairs properly, rather than the poor standards you do now and then have to go back a while later.
Our roads are a disgrace, but who is regulating these Muppets, nobody that is why they get away with making us drivers the laughing stock of Britain.

BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre
BK Sameday moves into new distribution centre
BK Sameday have done it; hard work does pay off, several months of pounding the UK motorway’s, driving in the lovely countryside, town to town, building the reputation by doing the job with professionalism.
Now the fledgling Sameday Courier company has moved into a new distribution centre, based in Trench Lock, the new facilities have moved BK onto the next level, the move enables them to stock items for other businesses and to hold the deliveries overnight or until shipment is due.
It also enables them to offer cheaper delivery for people who are looking at shipping items but aren’t in a rush, with BK vans visiting most parts of the UK over the week, they ensure they will deliver at the cheaper rates when in that area.
Managing Director, Ben Coates said “I am building the business on honesty and hard work, I have understood the need for a new distribution unit, but finances have taken a while to build to such a level to sustain it, I have been under pressure at home from the wife as my garage has been packed, however of course I have been unable to hold certain items due to room and security, but because of this new premise will we hope attract new customers, who need reassurance that their goods can be bought in or shipped out with care and trust”
“We value every customer who comes on board, from the public to the biggest or corporates, we have done an array of jobs, from Morrison’s meat for its Christmas photo shoot, to a rather expensive coffee table for a boat down to Cornwall, and we protect their goods and ensure swift delivery, we also delivery samples to major supermarkets, including Sainsbury’s, and no matter how tempting, we never eat the sample food”
The move into the premise has taken place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, the new address is BK Sameday, Unit 20, Trench Lock 3, Telford, TF1 5ST, to contact BK Sameday please call Ben on 07738 715038, or e-mail ben@bkbusinesssolutions.co.uk.
